If you love a home with a story, welcome to 1730 Lincoln Ave, Alameda. Nestled right in the historic Grand Station Historic District at the corner of Grand Street and Lincoln Ave, in Central Alameda, you’re moving into a spot that’s been a hub of activity for nearly 160 years. Back in 1864, Alfred A. Cohen’s San Francisco and Oakland Railroad (SF&O) used to pull up right here at what was then known as Encinal Station, renamed Grand Station in 1881. Close your eyes and you can almost imagine the rhythmic chug of steam engines making their way down Lincoln Avenue. Fast forward to today, and that same historic energy is the pulse of the neighborhood. You’ve got a corner grocery, yoga studio, boutique clothing shoo, restaurants, and even a dance theatre just moments away. Right across the street, a Japanese French immersion daycare and language center adds a unique, international flair to the block. Plus, you're perfectly positioned near the highly rated Maya Lin Elementary and Alameda High schools. But the real magic is how close you are to the water. Whether you’re launching from the Grand Street boat ramp, keeping a slip at Grand Marina, bathing in the Hot Tub Boats or exploring the vibrant waterways at Brooklyn Basin and the Oakland Estuary, life here revolves around the bay. Across the island in the other direction brings you to Alameda Beach, where you can spend afternoons kite boarding, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, or cycling along the bayside paths with the iconic San Francisco skyline as your backdrop. Inside, this 1915 three-bedroom, one-bathroom home perfectly balances that vintage soul with modern living. The first things you’ll notice are the gorgeous hardwood floors that run through the space, leading you into a beautifully remodeled kitchen and dining room ready for everything from quick morning coffees to big dinner parties. For ultimate convenience, there is a dedicated laundry room that makes keeping life organized a breeze. Step outside to find a cozy, low-maintenance backyard ideal for parking bicycles, growing vegetables, frivolous play, a morning coffee or an evening entertaining friends. If you have a lot of gear for those beach days or just love a good project space, the large garage and extra basement bonus space are huge perks. Best of all, the garage is already equipped with an EV charger, so you're ready for the future. In the center of the island, its the perfect blend of a storied past and an active, modern lifestyle.

Built in 1925 and lovingly reimagined, this East End Craftsman blends timeless character with modern comfort. Three bedrooms and two baths open onto gracious living and dining rooms with refinished oak floors, arched picture windows, dual-pane windows, and crown moulding. Newly installed recessed lighting and dimmable-ready sconces move from bright morning clarity to a soft evening glow, anchored by a stone-and-brick Valor gas fireplace. The remodeled kitchen is a cook's quiet luxury featuring granite counters, a stone backsplash, a professional Wolf oven and range, a Miele dishwasher, and pull-out cabinetry throughout that make it a dream for the organized cook. At its heart, a brand-new Samsung Bespoke four-door refrigerator in white glass: hands-free doors, two styles of ice, pull-out freezer drawers, a built-in AI Family Hub for music and recipes, and a beverage center with auto-filling pitcher ready for herb- and fruit-infused water. Outside, a spacious hardscape backyard was made for gathering a built-in Alturi gas grill with rotisserie, a gas fire pit, and triangular sun canopies wired for string lights that stretch summer evenings into October. Beyond lies a thoughtfully planted organic garden: a Meyer lemon out front; lime, lemon, and avocado in the side garden; a backyard orchard bearing Fuyu and Hachiya persimmons and a Pink Lady apple; and artichokes, roses, and fragrant lavender throughout. Full irrigation and automatic landscape lighting keep it effortless. Follow the stone path past the water fountain to a custom-fitted metal storage shed workshop, garden-tool haven, or extra storage. The detached, finished garage is flexible bonus space ideal as a guest room, office, gym, or media retreat with a remote-operated ceiling fan, built-in shelving, ample storage, a utility sink, and a full-size pull-down Murphy bed. Maytag Pet Pro washer and dryer handle heavy loads and delicates alike. Comfort runs throughout: a new Carrier heat pump system with an Ecobee smart thermostat (control it at the wall or from your phone), a Rinnai on-demand water heater, and a smart-lock entry with key, fingerprint, and keypad access. Tucked into Alameda's beloved East End, moments from neighborhood schools, parks, shops, and the shoreline, and within walking distance of Park Street, with its Labor Day block parties, lemonade stands, and small-town warmth. For the one searching for exactly this -- look no further. Alameda living at its very best.
